i hope they do have the theme intellect as next years theme that would be awesome so many things and ideas eeryone can do with that! i dunno what the theme they will be dork but if u find out pls let me know :D

i keep seeing people online say 2006 is the 20th anniversary - which it would be, of the time larry made a man and burned him. but on my calendar and history it lists 2005 as the 20th burn, since the "idea" started the year before at someone elses party.....

i'm just curious if the same people who put together the calendar will be working on the "20th anniversary" stuff next year....

Oh good, we can have LeFoot for the Neworlans connection. Oh, And I'll have "Snotty We Read Tim Powers and Know that the Real Action is On Stranger Tides Camp." I do so luv being better than my fellow burners...

"Pirates of the Caribbean part II"

Actually it will be Canadians take Over! Street names? Alberta, Ontario, Northwest Territories. Hudsen Bay Blanket art cars will blanket the streets. Maple Syrup for All! And the Quebecois will devolve and start their own event--merging with BORG2 and the remnants of La Contessa's crew.

I hate to say it, but the well consumed old guard here in the States (i.e. Bud, Miller, Coors, and shall I even mention, Schlitz, Schaffer, Old Milwaukee, Pabst, etc - that somehow still manages to find a market) is nothing to brag about either. Thank the beer gods for the introduction of superior microbrewery style beers in the past 10-15 years (Sam Adams, Pyramid, Pete's Wicked, Gordon Biersch, etc.) so I don't have to rely on expensive Euro imports.

Some time back, when I was guessing about '05's theme, I suggested "Anima Mundi"- It has the hoity-toity titular nomenclature that seems to be part of the theme tradition, but simply put, just means "Animals". I'm still mad about missing "The Floating World", AKA "Fish Year", and enough people always do animal-based stuff that I think it's a shoe-in. The ring streets would be Kingdom, Phylum, Order, etc.. (I forget how that stacks, sorry.) I know that Certain Clever Persons are already working on Certain Giant Insects for next year......

Hey.
How about a "Law and Disorder" theme?
Strip searches at the front gate.
The Man could be chained up in the pokey under heavy guard.
Once inside, everyone could be "the man".
We could be doing various sting operations and undercover work,
endless surveillance of various targets and other "agencies"
constantly trying to trap and bust everyone for everything....even the LEO`s couldn`t tell who was real or not. Have people on every corner
selling fake weed & acid, then arresting those that showed the slightest interest... informants would be all over.
Center camp could be like a prisoner martialing area with various
cells and holding areas...no one can bail themselves out because there is no commerce....mandatory time for all .
Streets could be named:

Thanks, Fishie! ()I guess they'll have to have bigger blocks to use those streetnames, or add "planet" and "individual" on each end to make nine....

Kingdom, Superphylum, Phylum, Subphylum, ....species, subspecies, variety, individual. Or somthing like that--I'm not into claudastics. Of course we could crop off kingdom from teh front, because it's Animalia, not Flora or fungi or green algea. Or whatever...

Since my first burn in 2002, I had a vision of a "Tribal Theme". D'know. Anyways, just for shits and giggles, how bout throwin in a 21st b.day party for those who turn 21 in the year 2006. Afterall, Burning Man turns 21 that year too. Not that I'M turning 21 that year (I wish).
